Matt Giwer replied to Matt Giwer's discussion 'We cannot think like our ancestors'"If you were an ancient that it the best water you ever had short of a clear spring.
Mexicans can drink the water in Mexico. Most of the overpopulated third world has worse water than Mexico. The alternative to water no matter how bad is certain…"
Unseen replied to Unseen's discussion 'The Racists Really Won't Like This!'"The English were pretty barbaric through the Middle Ages and into the Renaissance. I don't mean just the peasants, either. However, next door to them were the Scots and Irish who were every bit as backward and tribal as many an African tribe…"
Matt Giwer replied to Matt Giwer's discussion 'We cannot think like our ancestors'"Life kills life. What could be a more natural observation? Tsunami? Neptune. Earthquake? Vulcan.
It is not how they wanted to look at things but how they did. I find odd ideas all through ancient discussions that make perfect sense if they assumed…"
Unseen replied to Unseen's discussion 'It's little companies who are destroying the middle class'"Take a look at Youtube videos of Amazon's gigantic warehouses in operation, and while clearly they are run on autopilot, consider that for every Amazon employee you see in the warehouse, perhaps a dozen other Americans no longer have a…"
Ray R. replied to Matt Giwer's discussion 'We cannot think like our ancestors'"Go camping , and try drinking " living water" from a stream or river . I'll wager the diarrhea and abdominal cramps you get from the Giardiasis you'll pick up , will certainly give you pause to reflect on the " wisdom "…"
Matt Giwer replied to Matt Giwer's discussion 'We cannot think like our ancestors'"Just the opposite of course. Narrower but correct. The grand generality included lightning as a god thing was wrong. I am trying to point out, which is why I can't get the final article right, is that their views of things, their associations…"
Strega replied to Matt Giwer's discussion 'We cannot think like our ancestors'"I think you're being selective in your examples. Moving water forms tsunami like the one in 2004 that demolished over 230,000 lives in Indonesia and its surrounds. Moving earth causes earthquakes and avalanches. Fire moves all…"
Welcome to TA
Our Radio Show
 This week on the Think Atheist Radio Show we have our interview with Dr. Sebastian Seung! Dr. Seung is a professor of computational neuroscience at MIT. A leading researcher in the emerging field of connectomics– the field of study that is attempting to map the connections in our brains– he has made important advances in artificial intelligence, neuroscience, neuroeconomics, and statistical physics. His recently published book, Connectome, does just what the subtitle says, explains how the brain's wiring makes us who we are. With implications for personality, identity, intelligence, memory, and even disorders such as autism and schizophrenia, this is a wide-ranging and fascinating book on a subject that would be right at home in a sci-fi movie but is in fact real! Don't miss this discussion!
And don't miss our recent interview with Dr. Jessica Pierce! Working in bioethics, Dr. Pierce is the co-author of Wild Justice: The Moral Lives of Animals. What does it say about human morality and what does it mean for the study of morality that many animals demonstrate behaviors that can only be described with words like "justice", "fairness", and "altruism"? Make sure to check out all of our past shows and see who's coming up in the next few weeks! You can also grab the shows from our iTunes page. |
